This is a lightning update from the frontlines of becoming a software developer. I got stuff for you about C# and I got some stuff about Flutter, including hints about my side project.

Slowly getting desperate... For more details tune in and enjoy!
I aced my first performance review. So cool! I loved the process that has both retrospection and future goals (moonshots???). Also this past week we had another great Behind The Buzz Word meetup. This time though there was a sponsor who raffled off some prizes. For results and more tune in and enjoy!

Things look much better this week. If I could only get over my code snippets hurdle. For now can’t find anyone else using code snippets in VS2019. Is there no one else??? Tune in and enjoy.

Welcome to season 3! This is absolutely not what expected from my new job as far the beginning, onboarding and getting to know my teammates. But this is not a normal time - this is Covid-19 era. So many things are different. I hope my podcast can give you some respite. Enjoy!
In the last episode of this season I decided to show off my chutzpah and argue with Sandro Mancuso over what Software Craftsmanship is. And that’s just to soften the ground before the big reveal. And then some words of gratitude and little wisdom. Good times. Enjoy!
By far the biggest highlight of the week was the Behind The Buzzword 1st birthday. Great celebration of the dev community that Ross Townsend created and one that continues to thrive and do good. It was also information overload… and the beer was so much better. Are we seedy to finish this season of Cyber Trek? Listen on to find out. Enjoy!
